Giving Sneaky a Bad Name

I've been trying to get Gabby to clean her room. She was given a week and if it wasn't clean, she would lose her Twilight posters. She lost them. The second week, she would lose her MP3 player. She lost it. The 3rd week, she would lose her Nintendo DS. She lost it. P-Dub set up a shoe box last week named "Gabby's Punishment Box". Everything she loses goes in there. So, last night I needed the shoe box to help me with a craft (more on this later). So, I started to take Gabby's stuff out of the shoebox...and the MP3 player was not in there. She had just gone to bed and I marched into her room...and demanded, "Where's the MP3 player?!" She lowered her head and said, "I took it to school." I asked where it was. She said in her backpack. DOUBLE WAMMY! Not only did she sneak the MP3 player out of her punishment box, but she also took it to school! I got the MP3 player out of her backpack and said, "You're not doing ANYTHING for a VERY long TIME!!!"

I was sooo disappointed in her. She definitely got my "sneaky" gene. I was a very sneaky child. I lied to my mom all the time.

BUT!!!...What I want to know is how is she sooooo BAD at it!!!??? I mean what the hell? She's not very bright when it comes to "sneaking". If it was me? I would have snuck the MP3 player to school and then made sure I PUT IT BACK when I got home!!!

I'm just disappointed all the way around.

Feeling the Urge . . . I'm kind of feeling an urge to blog this morning...just to get my thoughts out...do something to keep my mind busy and relieve some stress...yet, I don't seem to have anything to say. I totatlly skipped doing cardio this morning, and know that I won't make it to the gym for the rest of the day...being very lazy. I stopped this morning and got a bagel and coffee. I was standing in line with all the other people who were either wearing business suits or scrubs (I live in the medical center after all), and I felt quite out of place in my Maroon5 (yeah!) T-shirt and jeans that I wore to school last night and just threw on this morning to take Gabby to school. No make-up and hair in a ponytail. I was looking quite decrepit amongst those other "working folks"! I'm wondering how my life got to be this freakin' boring!!! And then I'm wondering why the bagel shop has to be right next to a mortuary?...just a thought.
What is the definition of love? Some anonymous person asked me this in the 'comments section' many blogs ago. A hard one to answer...everyone has a different answer...I am slowly admitting to myself that I have never truly been in love...I have felt deep affection for people, and I have had my feelings manipulated, and I have definitely been in lust...But I honestly can say that I've never been in love on my own terms...I'm so ready to be swept completely off my feet...
